The ASPCA app, available for iOS and Android, aims to make it easier to be a pet owner. The app has many features, including one that provides advice on what to do should your pet go missing. In addition to providing step-by-step instructions, the app also lets you create a digital "missing" poster that you can share on social media.
The ASPCA app isn't just for finding lost dogs and cats. It can also store medical records and provide information on how to take care of your pet in the event of a disaster. Like all good apps, the ASPCA has included Instagram connectivity to allow you to view cute photos of pets all day! The app is available now for free.
